| | Design Study: Nissan 240/Fairlady Z successor | | 2008-08-21 13:51:00 | | Nissan's plans for an affordable, rear-wheel-drive coupe to slot in below the current Z have been rumored for years and we've been informed that internal politics have killed off at least one revival of an iconic Datsun. If work ever gets underway on another budget coupe, Nissan should seriously pursue Polish designer Iacoski and his interpretation of a 240Z/Fairlady revival.Aft of the a-pillar, Iacoski's inspiration is clearly apparent, blending the old 240's slopping roofline and short rear overhangs with the muscular haunches and angled fender flares of the current 350Z. Up front, the Photoshop wizard retained the old Fairlady's elongated hood and power bulge, and matched them with a front air dam, bumper and headlamp arrangement influenced by the second GTR Proto concept.We're totally smitten and think you'll be equally entertained when you check out the gallery of images below.[Source: Digimods via NihonCar]Tag: Coupes, Nissan, Rendered Speculation ... | | By: Car News | | |
| | Detroit automakers take hit in U of M satisfaction study | | 2008-08-20 16:06:00 | | After years of incremental improvement in customer satisfaction, a study from the University of Michigan shows that overall, Detroit automakers have declined versus their Japanese and German rivals. The study, which polls customers with six-month-old to three-year-old vehicles, shows that U.S. automakers have stalled in their quest to improve satisfaction. The problem? Rising gas prices have made truck and SUV customers very unhappy with their vehicles, which reflects negatively in the overall score.The Chevrolet brand was hit hardest, with scores dropping 3.7% versus last year's score. The bow tie brand was ahead of only Dodge and Jeep. The news isn't all bad for General Motors, though, as truck and SUV-less Saturn posted the industry's largest gain of 4.9 points to get within one point of Toyota and Honda's score of 86. Buick and Cadillac also performed very well in the survey, with each GM brand scoring an 85. Ford was flat year over year, but the Blue Oval's score of 80 was two poi... | | By: Car News | | |

| | Study: Less talk, more pills from psychiatrists | | 2008-08-08 04:35:51 | | CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Cartoons about the psychiatrist's couch were recently the subject of a museum exhibition. Now, the couch itself may be headed for a museum.Psychiatrists who used talk therapy with all their patients prescribed fewer pills, a study found.A new study finds a significant decline in psychotherapy practiced by U.S. psychiatrists.The expanded use of pills and insurance policies that favor short office visits are among the reasons, said lead author Dr. Ramin Mojtabai of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland."The 'couch,' or, more generally, long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy, was for so long a hallmark of the practice of psychiatry. It no longer is," Mojtabai said.Today's psychiatrists get reimbursed by insurance companies at a lower rate for a 45-minute psychotherapy visit than for three 15-minute medication visits, he explained.His study found that the percentage of patients' visits to psychiatrists for psychotherapy, or talk th... | | By: DrEddyClinic -project - Complementary and alternat | | |

Researchers say that’s the age when people feel most depressed.Using data on two million people from 80 countries, researchers found an extraordinarily consistent pattern in depression and happiness levels that leaves us most miserable in middle age.Using a sample of one million people from the U.K., researchers discovered that for both men and women the probability of depression peaks around 44 years of age.The only country which recorded a significant gender difference was in the U.S., where unhappiness reached a peak at around 40 for women and 50 for men."Some people suffer more than others but in our data the average effect is large," said Professor Andrew Oswald, a University of Warwick Economist in a news release.

Teaming up with a company called North Sails, which actually sells boat sails unlike Mercury's branding partner, Nautica, which sells polo shirts, VW has added a new ground effects kit, a yellow rub strip, watery-blue reflectors, and 19-inch wheels. Stepping aboard, occupants will find a cabin decked out with teak flooring, LED lighting accents, white leather seats with aquamarine stitching, and an alcantara headliner. We think we've seen that window tint color on our beloved Matchbox SuperFast cars from the early 1980s, too.

It also protects red blood cells from potentially harmful byproducts that can accumulate when a person takes certain medications or when the body is fighting an infection.The ASI study detected cases of disorder like jaundice among those G-6-PD-deficient persons who had intake of chloroquine.

| | Broccoli Fights Cancer - Study Shows How | | 2008-07-02 08:34:00 | | Research continues to show how eating real food prevents all kinds of disease, namely cancers. Now the first Human trial shows men who eat broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables have a reduced risk of prostate cancer - with broccoli having the greatest protection. Read the story on Reuters:LONDON (Reuters) - Just a few more portions of broccoli each week may protect men from prostate cancer, British researchers reported on Wednesday.The researchers believe a chemical in the food sparks hundreds of genetic changes, activating some genes that fight cancer and switching off others that fuel tumors, said Richard Mithen, a biologist at Britain's Institute of Food Research.There is plenty of evidence linking a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables to reduced cancer risk. But the study published in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS One is the first human trial investigating the potential biological mechanism at work, Mithen added in a telephone interview."Everybody says eat y... | | By: Whole Food And More | | |
| | Solar Energy and the Feasibility Study. What Does It Mean? | | 2008-06-28 07:01:53 | | The United States has lagged behind western European nations in getting solar energy projects off the ground for the last two decades, but now, with the price of oil sky high and global warming being taken seriously, venture capital is pouring in. Florida, California, and the desert Southwest lead the way in both operational and planned solar power plants to provide cheap renewable energy to hundreds of thousands of residential and commercial customers. Michigan’s sagging economy is being boosted by green entrepreneurs who are turning out solar panels and roof tiles using the skills of unemployed Detroit auto workers. The future of solar looks bright. But wait. Here comes the government. Late last month, The Feds put a moratorium on new applications for solar power plants planned on government land pending a massive environmental impact study.

I'm just a wife and mom who wants to be around for my family for a really long time. Now I have some proof that what I eat does make a difference in health and dying too soon.A newly released study has linked what women eat to their risk of dying from certain diseases.Harvard's School of Public Health studied over 72,000 women for 18 years to see whether eating habits played a part in dying from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke. What they found is not surprising, but it does add credibility to all those health nuts who say we need to eat better in order to live better. Here's what they found...Women who ate a "prudent diet" including lots of veggies, fruits, legumes, and whole grains had 28% lower risk of dying from heart disease and 17% lower risk of dying from cancer, diabetes, and stroke.Women who ate a "Western diet" including more meat, processed, refined, and sugary food... | | By: Whole Food And More | | |

| | Patients Who Have Been Pulled Back From the Brink of Death Help Nurse to Study a Controversial Phenomenon | | 2008-06-21 03:47:07 | | By Steffan RhysIn RedOrbit LIGHTS at the end of a tunnel, spirits floating above their bodies on the hospital operating table, and lives flashing before your eyes.They have all been the most commonly described near-death experiences for as long as the often-doubted phenomenon has existed.But a five-year research project by a Welsh nurse suggests these stories are so common because they actually happen.Intensive therapy nurse Penny Sartori worked closely with critically-ill patients at Morriston and Singleton Hospitals in Swansea. The setting, experts say, provided well-documented information on near-death experiences (NDEs) which does not fit easily within the parameters of the normal systems of explanation.One patient reported encountering a dead relative who gave a message to pass on to another member of the family who was still alive, information which stunned the receiver because it had been a secret and was impossible the patient had prior knowledge of it.In another, a patient wh... | | By: Spiritual Village | | |

It's all about marking your territory, say the CSU eggheads. When people use their rear bumper to, say, advertise who they voted for in the last three presidential elections (along with every associated platform issue), brag about how smart their precious kids are, or remind us about the highly unfortunate event that took place on October 27, 2004, it's really the adhesive-based equivalent of what that next-door-neighbor's dog does when he lifts his leg on your gardenias.Those stickers make cars an extension of their drivers' home turf, which they will defend if they feel you're threatening it in any way. Conversely, people whose autos retain their stock appearance are more ... | | By: Car News | | |

| | | Vitamin Doesn't Work As Claimed Because It Doesn't Dissolve - Study | | 2008-06-12 10:31:00 | | This new study shows a popular vitamin supplement aimed at diabetics is not as effective as most advertisements for it claim because it does not dissolve.The study published in the journal BioMed Central found that benfotiamine -- a synthetic derivative of the vitamin B1 -- does not actually dissolve and penetrate cell membranes as well as often claimed.Vitamin B1, or thiamine, plays a key role in keeping cells healthy, and previous research has shown that diabetics have less of it in their blood.Simple lab tests showed that benfotiamine as sold to consumers was not lipid-soluble -- which means it did not dissolve in organic solvents and oils to boost health by working quickly."It did not dissolve so it can't work its way through the membranes," Bettendorff said in a telephone interview.

| | Text Messaging Actually Good for Concentration, Study Finds | | 2008-06-11 09:34:00 | | The Find: If you think text messaging is a distraction for your team, think again. A new study finds workers who use text messaging at the office actually report fewer interruptions. The Source: A recent study by researchers at Ohio State University and University of California, Irvine published in the Journal of Computer Mediated Communication.The Takeaway: The researchers spoke to nearly 1,000 randomly selected people from 12 different US metropolitan areas who worked at least 30 hours per week in an office and used a computer for at least five hours in a workday. What they found explodes the myth that Yahoo or G-chat is holding back your employees’ productivity. The research showed: Instant messaging was often used as a substitute for other, more disruptive forms of communication such as the telephone, e-mail, and face-to-face conversations. Using instant messaging led to more conversations on the computer, but the conversations were briefer, said R. Kelly Garrett, co-author of th... | | By: Brain Power | | |

| | Antibacterial wipes can spread superbugs: study | | 2008-06-05 09:30:55 | | By Michael KahnTue Jun 3, 1:11 PM ET Disinfectant wipes routinely used in hospitals may actually spread drug-resistant bacteria rather than kill the dangerous infections, British researchers said on Tuesday. While the wipes killed some bacteria, a study of two hospitals showed they did not get them all and could transfer the so-called superbugs to other surfaces, Gareth Williams, a microbiologist at Cardiff University, said. The findings presented at the American Society of Microbiology's General Meeting in Boston focused on bacteria that included methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. "What we have found is there is a high risk," Williams, who led the study, said by telephone. "We need to give guidance to the staff on how to use the wipes because we found there is a possibility of cross transfer." MRSA infections can range from boils to more severe infections of the bloodstream, lungs and surgical sites.... | | By: angelite nurses | | |

| | Wörthersee 2008: VW Golf GTI Performance study on display | | 2008-05-24 07:41:00 | | VW hasn't released any info on the car you see here, which is called the Golf GTI Performance design study, so we'll call it like we see it. A black-and-copper checkered flag motif adorns the hatch, which is enhanced with a widebody kit, lowered suspension, and the expected wheel/tire upgrade. Out back, the GTI's rear bumper cover is covered with more grillework than you'll find on the rump of a Lamborghini Gallardo. A pair of giant exhaust outlet cutouts are also built into the corners. And speaking of Lamborghinis, VW has fitted the Golf GTI Performance with the dreaded "Lambo doors," which look predictably ridiculous here. The exterior color scheme carries through to the passenger cabin, which gets a 2+1 sport seating arrangement and what appears to be a substantial audio system install. Not our cup 'o tea, but it'll probably go over very well with the VW tuners who take part in the WörtherSEMA... er.. Wörthersee Tour.[Source: Volkswagen]... | | By: Car News | | |

They found that tumor growth varies considerably between subjects.About one in 20 tumors double in size in just over a month from 10 to 20 millimeters, while similar tumors took more than six years to grow to this size. Researchers estimated the mean time for a tumor to double in size from 10 to 20 millimeters in diameter is 1.7 years.Researchers hope the research provides a new approach to estimating the ... | | By: Whole Food And More | | |

Or 10 years?Would you rather be divorced, unable to have children, depressed, alcoholic?A disturbing new study out of Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity found that nearly half -- 46 percent -- of 4,283 participants would rather give up a year of their life than be obese. Fifteen percent were willing to give up 10 years.In fact, a surprisingly large number of participants were willing to make extreme sacrifices if they could be sure they would never be obese.These are hypothetical questions, of course, and the answers are not set in stone. Obesity is a killer, so some participants probably figured that they were going to die earlier anyway if they were obese, but what surprised the researchers was the number of people who were willing to make extreme... | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |

| | Quick Study: Money and Happiness Under the Microscope | | 2008-05-01 00:06:00 | | by Laura RowleyUniversity of Southern California professor Richard Easterlin, the father of research on well-being, began studying happiness in the late 1960s, when happiness wasn't cool. I've interviewed him a number of times over the years.Early in his career, Easterlin examined data on economic growth and reported happiness in a range of countries, and discovered that big jumps in growth in nations such as the United States and Japan were accompanied by declines, or only marginal increases, in reported happiness. This became known as the "Easterlin Paradox."A Paradox RevisitedRecently, Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers, two economists at the University of Pennsylvania, reexamined the data, and suggest that economic growth does indeed correlate with happiness, according to a New York Times report. They found that people in countries with higher incomes report higher life satisfaction.National economic growth and happiness is one thing, personal wealth and happiness is something els... | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |
| | Study Links Suicide Rates With Earth's Magnetic Field | | 2008-04-28 20:07:00 | | Russia: A study conducted by Oleg Schumilov has linked suicide rates to changes in Earth's magnetic field. Schumilov studied suicide rates in Kirovsk over 50 years and found a correlation between peaks in the magnetic field and suicide rates.Schumilov stated that his study did not prove causality but noted that there were already studies that connected health and magnetics. An Australian study concluded that female suicide rates climbed significantly during geomagnetic storm activity.According to Kelly Posner, a psychiatrist at Columbia University, the most likely explanation is that magnetic storm activity desynchronises the circadian rhythm and disrupts the production of the sleep-promoting brain chemical melatonin.

| | | Humans Came Close to Extinction, Study Says | | 2008-04-27 18:30:00 | | An extensive genetic study by researchers at Stanford University suggests that human beings nearly became extinct about 70,000 years ago, apparently because of a drought. The population may have dropped to as low as 2,000 individuals.Researcher Spencer Wells calls the finding "truly an epic drama, written in our DNA." Human beings emerged in Africa about 200,000 years ago with "mitochondrial Eve," the mother of all humanity, and spread to other places 60,000 years ago.Little has been known about the intervening 140,000 years, but the new study suggests that severe environmental conditions between 135,000 and 90,000 years ago forced people into tiny, isolated groups. The worldwide human population today is 6.6 billion. Source: news.yahoo.com... | | By: Stroke News - We can change your life | | |
